My-invention'aims toprovide a' durablel sanitary ventilating toilet seat'that' may be sold'wi'th the ideaof substltuting it for ora dinary wooden and unsanitary tollet seats.

5 'My inventionstill furtheraimsto provide a toilet seat made of Bakelite or other phecally described and then claimed, and ref, erence will now be had to thedrawing,

V Figure 1 is a plan of the toilet seat;

Fig. 2 is a. longitudinal sectional, view of the same in connection with af conventional form of bowl or hopper; I v g I i Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan of a ventilating member forming part ofthe seat, and

Fig. 4 is aview of the rear end'of said ventilating memberbowl'having the usual rearward extension 2 provided w1th apertured ears-J3 to whlch a seat-may be pivotally connected by pintles, bolts'or the like. In this instance, I show theapertured ears '3 connected'by atran sve rse pin or pintle 4 adapted for pivotally holding the apertured lugs 5 of a toilet seat 6 which is of the ordinary and well known shape and size. The apertured lugs 5 pro ect upwardly enlargement at the rear edge of theseat 6 and its enlargements is of greater depth than V the seat 6 so thatthe rear end of the seatwill be elevated relative to thebowl 1.. In order -ative to the bowl 1 there are depending'pegs or supports 8 at the frontend of theseat and these pegs cooperate with the {enlargement 7 in maintaining the seat in spacedrelation to-the upper edge of the bowll, so that there will be an air. inlet 7 seat and the bowl.

The seat 6 is preferably made of Bakelite and the pegs 8 may be made of similar ma-Q '55 terial or rubber and attached to thebottom. of

some resilient material to somewhat-cushion} *the seat 6 when it is placed in an active post v tion relative ,to the bowl. The pegs 8 maybe :of greater depth than the enlargement 7 so to be placed under compression when the seat is occupied, also to prevent-the enlargement 7 from 'being'inplred should 1t. v olently contact withthe bowl when the seat is low-- ered from a raised position; p Inthe rear enlargement 7 of the seat 6 is anchored a metallicv'entilating member 10 somewhat in the form of a box that has endwalls 11 tapering outwardly from the front end of'the member to the rearendthereof, the front end of the member being open and concave, as at 12, so as to conform to the opening wall 13 of the seat. The box-li ke vren v tilating member is embedded in the enlarge ment 7 and has its upper and lower} walls apertured, as at 14 so that the Bakelite composition of theseatmay enter the upper and l 3 lower walls of the ventilating member as clearly shownin Fig. 2, and thusfanchor the ventilating member in the seat as though itwas an integral part thereof. Further an-- chorage is secured by means of curved apertured arms 15 .carried'by the end walls 11 of the ventilating member and extending into;

-. the composite seat, as shown bydotted lines in. Fig.1; Since the enlargement 7 p is of greater depth than the seat 6'with the meme ber lO-approximating the depth of the seat" u i 7 1t becomes necessary. to prov de the trout edge or the member 10 W1th an incl nedwall l6, Wlnchis'also apertured. This'wall'cooperates with other wallso'l the ventilating member in providing an airinlet opening17 and the rearendo'f the member 10 isiadaptedj V to communicate with a suitable exhaust'jflue 18,":which in the present instance, ismount ed on the rear portion of ledge 20f the bowl 1 bet-ween the ears 3 and under-the pin 4,
